This action was removed to this court on April 7, 2010. On November 29, 2010 at a further

23

case management conference a scheduling order was issued setting a date for discovery cutoff of

24

May 9, 2011, and a trial date of October 25, 2011, along with other dates. Defendant has notified

25

the court in two separate letters of plaintiff’s failure to respond to discovery, appear for deposition,

26

and failure to serve Rule 26 disclosures or any of the disclosures ordered by this court, along with

27

other deficiencies. See Docket ## 18 and 19. Plaintiff has failed to respond to either of these letters

28

1

1

and, it appears from the docket in this action, he has failed to take any other actions since the case

2

management conference to further this litigation.
